“Some of the best talent has come together to transform the bones of the old Collins Quarter building including designer Gabriella Libertini. Melbourne artist Ash Keating has taken over the walls with his signature fire extinguisher painting style features throughout the main dining space and private dining room in shades of orange and light forest. Leading the way inside, a large green, gold and black mural by Apparition Media reminiscent of India and Sri Lanka covers the front corridor.

Stripped floorboards pave the way upstairs to INDU’s private dining room with an exposed brick wall featuring the original stained-glass windows, which is a nod to the building’s heritage, and bookended with the same fire extinguisher style artwork by Ash Keating that has been carried from the downstairs to up. An oversized timber dining table handcrafted by Melbourne-based furniture maker Leslie Jones also sits front and centre.”
